Buying commodities futures can be risky, so if one is not experienced, the best first move would be to consult an expert. A commodity trading advisor could give some idea as to the best strategy to take with your investments. Alternatively you could join in a registered commodity pool. This way risk is spread, and profits or losses are shared amongst the members of the pool, proportionate to the capital invested by each person.
